What if he gets offended and stops communicating? They say, whatever you name a ship, that’s how it will sail. It's a similar story with hamsters. What is the best name for a girl hamster? We reveal all the secrets of choosing an original name for a furry baby.
Do rodents even need nicknames?
Names for both girls and boys hamsters are really necessary. Thanks to them, rodents will begin to see you as the owner, respond to your voice and smell, and follow commands. In order for an animal to learn its name, you need to:
- always wash your hands with unscented soap (preferably) before approaching the cage;
- always call the baby by the same name;
- at first, accompany commands and calls not only with your voice, but also with a tasty treat in your hand;
- do not use sudden movements that can frighten both Syrian and Djungarian hamsters.
If you call your pets using the same names for male and female hamsters, respectively, but they do not give a reaction, then the problem is not in the name. There is a possibility that the reason lies in deafness. Some furbabies simply don't like their owner's scent or treats. In such situations, you can try experimenting.

Although many owners do not listen to this opinion, Djungarians should not be placed several times in one cage. However, as evidenced by the experience of keeping this species in captivity, it is best if there is only one animal in one cage.
Keeping a male and female together will result in offspring. If the animals are not further planted, their numbers will grow exponentially, and instinct will force the adults to eat their young. Usually this immediately causes understandable rejection among the owners, but here it should be understood that hamsters in their natural environment do not live in families, but in single individuals in each area, and captivity conditions cannot change this. Therefore, if a female hamster has offspring, they should be placed separately upon reaching a certain age (as soon as young hamsters are able to feed on their own).
It is also not recommended to keep two same-sex hamsters together: in this case, aggression towards each other is possible, both in females and males. In addition, living together in the same cage can cause stress in each of the inhabitants, and this will inevitably affect their owners as soon as they try to communicate with them.
It is best to feed Djungarian hamsters in captivity with special food.
It is worth noting that pet stores quite often sell animals of hybrid origin under the guise of a Djungarian hamster. Such individuals may have an unstable psyche and a tendency to various diseases, including diabetes. A conscientious breeder will always provide you with a pedigree upon request.
Now let’s look at materials about another, no less popular human companion animal.
Based on what to choose a nickname
Each pet should have its own nickname. There are a lot of beautiful names for hamsters. But how can you not get confused among them and choose exactly the one that can always please you personally and your little amazing animal?
To do this, you need to know the basic selection criteria by which choosing a nickname for hamsters will turn from a routine into an exciting and enjoyable activity.
Some of the key aspects of choosing a nickname include the following:
- Please note that the nickname should be concise and memorable. This way, everyone in the household and the animal itself will quickly remember it.
- It is better to name the rodent something that each member of your group or family will like. This will save you from conflicts and confusion in the future.
- If you have several rodent animals, then for each of them you need to choose your own nickname. They should all be very different so that the fluffies don't get confused.
That's it, let go!
I persuaded him and agreed to Khomka. Pet hamsters are often given nicknames based on one or several points:
- exterior;
- coat color;
- breed;
- behavior;
- floor;
- owner preferences;
- special preferences of the animal;
- character.
It is also important to pay attention to personal feelings. Sometimes people choose a nickname for their beloved pet based on their emotions and memories. So, for example, you can call a rodent Vera, if that is the name of your dear grandmother, whom you rarely see.
Selection of nicknames by color
To choose the right nickname for a Dzungarian or Syrian, you should definitely take a closer look at the color of his coat. It is much easier to choose names for hamsters in such situations:
- for gray ones - Dymok, Pepelinka, Serenka.
- for whites - Marshmallow, Snezhka, Fluff, White, Belyak;
- for redheads - Persinka, Medic, Zolotse, Ray;
- for blacks - Smoke, Coal, Nochka.
It is not always worth dwelling on Russian common nicknames for hamsters. Get a little creative and think about nicknames in other languages, such as Italian or Spanish. The nicknames for hamsters are Black, Blanco, Negro, Gris.

As a result, farmers' households will suffer greatly.
